While the GNU/Linux Operating System is gaining popularity in research and student communities as well as in the business world, its impact is still limited for all those application areas requiring ...

Back in 2006, Linus Torvalds said, "Controlling a laser with Linux is crazy, but everyone in this room is crazy in his own way. So if you want to use Linux to control an industrial welding laser, I ...

A real-time system must respect time constraints to ensure that its execution makes functional sense. It must be deterministic, ensuring the execution of system processes a priori. After analyzing the ...

An RTOS is a specialized operating system designed to handle time-critical tasks with precision and reliability. Unlike general-purpose operating systems like Windows or macOS, an RTOS is built to ...

Although Linux runs almost every supercomputer, most of the web, the majority of smart phones, and a few writers’ ancient Macbooks, there’s one major weak point in the Linux world that will almost ...

System development uses a microkernel architecture and Linux run-time environment to achieve high-speed performance. For many applications, employing common programming techniques—such as memory ...

Linus Torvalds released the next Linux kernel in the night from Sunday to Monday. As is so often the case, well over half of the changes in Linux 6.12 concern new, adapted and extended drivers. Around ...

A real time system must respect time constraints to ensure that its execution makes functional sense. A real-time operating system or RTOS (sometimes known as a real-time executive kernel) is a ...

Linux is well tuned for throughput-limited applications, but it is not well designed for deterministic response, though enhancements to the kernel are available to help or guarantee determinism.
